All this CDR

I don't quite get where riot is going with this. riot looks like they're trying to go full oprah. You Get some CDR item 3083 You get some CDR item 3001 EVERYBODY GETS SOME CDR!!! item 3157

I guess I'm okay with more people having access to CDR, but to be honest I think making CDR universally more difficult to get would have been better. This would force people to take CDR over certain other stats like previously.

It also means less and less mana. I used to spam Morgana Amumu Q. Now, with low mana/regen, I'll be forced to play smartly and use it as initiation.

Regarding item 3083 .. HP based tanks/juggernaut had fewer options of CDR (item 3071 is an exception). When I play tanky shyv.. I have 0 CDR with item 3068 item 3742 item 3748 item 3143 etc items. So it's CDR on item 3083 is pretty good item.

Even as Amumu.. only CDR was item 3110 and die due to lack of hp.

I don't play tank champs currently, so I can't really speak to their previous availability of CDR, so I'll skip Warmog's.

The added CDR on those mage items did come with a lowering of AP, so there is some trade off there. Do you get 10% CDR (along with a defensive stat) or do you get 10-30+ more AP and some other offensive effect (and/or health)? Likewise, item 3152, the Hextech item with CDR, has lower AP than its counter parts.

I think the bigger reason to put CDR on those two items in particular is to make CDR more available to manaless APs (Vladimir Rumble Mordekaiser Kennen ). Previously, AP + CDR was found only on mana regen items (item 3165 item 3174 ), items with mana (item 3057 item 3024 ), an attack speed item (item 3115 ), or tank or support focused items. These all have either large amounts of wasted stats or just not enough of the stats you really wanted.
